Thames River Basin Partnership Partners in Action Quarterly Report
Thames River Basin Partnership Partners in Action Quarterly Report Summer 2018 Volume 47 The Thames River watershed includes the Five Mile, French, Moosup, Natchaug, Pachaug, Quinebaug, Shetucket, Willimantic, and Yantic Rivers and all their tributaries. We’re not just the "Thames main stem." Greetings from the Thames River Basin Partnership. Once again this quarter our partners have proven their ability to work cooperatively on projects compatible with the TRBP Workplan and in support of our common mission statement to share organizational resources and to develop a regional approach to natural resource protection. I hope you enjoy reading about these activities as much as I enjoy sharing information about them with you. For more information on any of these updates, just click on the blue website hyperlinks in this e-publication, but be sure to come back to finish reading the rest of the report. Jean Pillo, Watershed Conservation Project Manager Eastern Connecticut Conservation District And TRBP Coordinator Special Presentation If you missed the July 2018 meeting of the Thames River Basin Partnership, then you missed a presentation by Chuck Toal, Avalonia Land Conservancy’s development and programs director. Chuck gave a presentation on the 50 years of accomplishments of ALC as a regional land trust. ALC is focused on 22 towns in southeastern Connecticut. ALC, which oversees 4000 acres of preserved land, achieved accreditation in 2017. Their success has resulted from a working board of directors and the establishment of town committees to focus on smaller areas. Their current focus is to be more selective on land acquisition, particularly concentrating on building blocks of open space while also building an endowment fund land stewardship going forward. -

Eastern Surplus, Five-Year Review, 09-30-2006, Sdms
Superfund Records Center SITE: £•' g*- vH J ^ p BREAK: SDMS DOCID 260018 OTHER: t FIVE-YEAR REVIEW EASTERN SURPLUS COMPANY SUPERFUND SITE MEDDYBEMPS, MAINE Prepared by: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 1 Boston, Massachusetts 0<\ /\ I Susan Studlien, Director Date ' * Office of Site Remediation and Restoration ES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the first five-year review for the Eastern Surplus Company Superfund Site (Site). This statutory five-year review is required since hazardous contamination remains at the Site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure. The review was completed in accordance with EPA guidance entitled "Comprehensive Five-Year Review Guidance," OSWER No. 9355.7-03B-P, June 2001. Starting in 1946, two owners, Harry Smith, Sr., and Harry Smith, Jr., used the Site as a storage and salvage yard. The area north of Route 191 at one time had debris/junk covering over 50% of the area, with thick vegetation covering the remaining areas. Some of the junk/surplus materials contained hazardous substances that were released into the site soils and further released into the groundwater. In 1985 Maine Department of Environmental Protection (Maine DEP) performed an inspection and identified the Site as an uncontrolled hazardous substance site. Maine DEP initiated a removal action to stabilize the Site, including removing approximately 120 transformers and other waste and fencing the Site. At the request of Maine DEP, EPA then took over the removal activities. Most of the liquid hazardous waste, drums, containers, and compressed gas cylinders were removed during the first EPA removal action in the 1980s. -
